The closed-quarters combat crackles with bone-shattering believability. And that's really all that matters.

Carano, a former mixed-martial artist, won't be vying for an Oscar any time soon but she can more than hold her own as an action star. She deserves a bigger canvas on which to show off her skills.
Cary Darling, Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Rotten
This isn't much more than a straight-forward, get-the-baddies action flick.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
The jaw-drop factor that comes from seeing Carano's moves is often spoiled because of too much cutting or, in the case of the dance club sequence, excess strobing.
Ben Kenigsberg, Variety
Rotten
Carano is an impressive woman, but she's no Meryl Streep; and even Streep couldn't make a movie this by-the-numbers look like anything more than it is: violence with interruptions.
Tom Long, Detroit News
